Télescope Café
Hidden away in the middle of Paris’s Little Tokyo neighborhood, this pioneering coffee shop, with its minimalist but stylish decor, is Mecca for coffee aficionados seeking out the finest brews. Here, purist barista Nicolas Clerc prepares the very best java with the asceticism of a Shinto monk, offering up a selection of beans roasted in house. Read more.
25, rue Villédo, Paris 1
Echo
Echo as in Echo Park, one of Los Angeles’ most creative neighborhoods. At this cheeky cantina (tiled walls, light wood furniture, ceramics), Sonia Guerrero, the former sous-chef at Frenchie To Go, serves the best of feel-good California grub! Read more.
95, rue d’Aboukir, Paris 2
Bing Sutt
In the game of café bingo, the Haut Marais neighborhood has checked off the winning box with this beautiful coffee shop by Davina Chang. After teaming up with pastry chef Julia Cheung (ex-The Kursaal), these days the former financial analyst celebrates the sweet treats of her Hong Kong upbringing. Read more.
22, rue Béranger, Paris 3
Gramme
We’ll say it loud and proud: Gramme rocks! In their tiny coffee shop with timeworn tables, azulejo tiles by Karla Sutra and bouquets of dried flowers, Marine Gora (ex-Universal) and Romaine Tellier (ex-consultant) deal out homemade seasonal cuisine. Read more.
86, rue des Archives, Paris 3
Benchy
Banzai! Now you can get your hands on a sando in the most beautiful neighborhoods of Paris! Just pop into Benchy, the second spot from fashion designer and consultant Kaito Hori – the izakaya Sanjo is his as well. Read more.
50, rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris 6
Café du Clown
After putting on a brilliant show at Oberkampf, Café du Clown is turning everything upside down on the Left Bank with its caffeinated acrobatics! Under the marquee, you’ll find Rikako Kobayashi (ex-pastry chef at Maison) and David Benichou (former sommelier at Vivant, A.T and Brutos) performing in a traditional Parisian atmosphere (bistro tables, a marble bar, old-fashioned tableware…). Read more.
6, rue Lobineau, Paris 6
Bake
The beloved ring-shaped breads from across the Atlantic have finally found an international headquarters here in France! At 86 rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière to be precise, where former project manager Céline Tran, who trained under Thierry Marx and at Ten Belles, has set up an adorable little bakery. The crates of plump bagels displayed in the windowed atelier set the tone. Read more.
96, rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, Paris 10
Fauna
Välkommen! the pine green bar at Fauna seems to cries out, where sleepy-eyed customers practically bump into each other inside this tiny 10m2 space with a steamy windowed storefront. The chic Scandi coffee shop in the Oberkampf neighborhood (immaculate walls, wooden pedestal tables and banquettes) is the brainchild of Jacob Köhler and Fllip Josefsson, two Residence Kann runaways who dole out a crash course in kaffe. Read more.
12, rue Oberkampf, Paris 11
Kapé
It didn’t take long for Jessica Gonzales and Aurélie Véchot, the duo behind Bobi, to decide they wanted to open up their café in the Oberkampf neighborhood, with an idea you can really stick a fork into: to introduce people to Filipino food and drinks, from breakfast through snack time. Read more.
17, rue de Malte, Paris 11
Ten belles Bread
Welcome to the neighborhood’s favorite supplier of soft loaves and breads with golden crusts (organic sourdough, rye, focaccia, etc.)! The second of three locations from the Franco-British Ten Belles team (Alice Quillet, Anna Trattles and Anselme Blayney) fills up at lunchtime with people working in advertising or startuppers, looking for a quick, well-made lunch. Read more.
19, rue Bréguet, Paris 11
Coupi Bar
Back in the day, Stéphane Ung’s mother used to frequent this bistro/bar for scratch tickets, while construction workers would chew the fat over coffee. Now all that remains of those days is the broken mosaic tile floor. Recently renamed Coupi (“café” in the Teochew dialect), this neighborhood bar with lots of wood and recycled materials is now one of the biggest Asian street food institutions in Paris. Read more.
48, avenue de la Porte d’Ivry, Paris 13
Mardi Café
Behind this niche coffee shop (Friedhats, Prolog, April) with a name as easy as ABC, you’ll find caffeinated potions (everything from espresso to cold brew), hojicha lattes and dirty chais in a striking Japanese/Danish-inspired space: a Soulages-esque facade, lots of blonde wood, clean lines, and a spotless countertop. Read more.
29, rue de la Villette, Paris 19
Candle Kids
Another caffeinated spot for cool kids? Yes, but a particularly slick one this time around, designed by Studio Ebur (immaculate walls, exposed stone columns, a zinc-topped wooden bar, big floor-to-ceiling windows) that’s well-stocked by brothers Martin and Ernest Laurens who grew up in Savoie – the first used to work for SNCF, the second did a stint at The Broken Arm. Read more.
107, rue des Couronnes, Paris 20
